Wedding photographer Julien Clavier, was awarded 4th place for photo 1455506 in the Reception category for the WPJA's 2014 Q2 Photography Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Julien Clavier, a France wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.

The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.
